AbstractThe LaMg2Cu9, PrMg2Cu9, LaMg2Cu4Ni5, PrMg2Cu4Ni5 and TbMg2Cu6Ni3 alloys were prepared for the investigations of crystal structure, magnetic and hydrogen storage properties. The magnetic properties of several REMg2Cu9−xNix compounds have been studied up to 9 T and from 2 to 300 K. Tb compounds show a ferrimagnetic (with Ni) or antiferromagnetic (without Ni) behaviour, which can be attributed to the Tb magnetic structure. At high temperature a paramagnetic Curie Weiss behaviour is observed and the effective moment corresponds to that of Tb. A magnetic contribution of Pr moment is observed in both Pr compounds, with larger magnetization for PrMg2Cu4Ni5 and a transition at 3 K. The hydrogen absorption occurs at 95 bar for LaMg2Cu9 (3 H f.u.−1) and above 2 bars for LaMg2Cu4Ni5 (1.6 H f.u.−1). The effect of Cu-Ni substitution on the electrochemical properties of LaMg2M9 ternary alloys was investigated leading to maximum discharge capacity of 250–310 mAh g−1.

AbstractMicrostructures and hydrogen storage properties of Mg/Cu super-laminates were compared to clarify the effect of initial activation. The initial activation change micro/nano-structures of Mg/Cu super-laminates into Mg2Cu with layered structure in fine grain size of about 1μm and pores highly dispersed between layers in sub-micrometer size. Large surface area, dense defects and short diffusion distance for the reaction enable Mg/Cu super-laminates to absorb hydrogen very quickly.

Magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe) nanoparticles are prepared by thermal decomposition of bipyridyl complexes of metals. These prepared Mg-Fe (2 : 1) nanoparticles are hydrogenated under 4 MPa hydrogen pressure and 673 K for 48 hours to achieve Mg2FeH6. Their structural analysis was assessed by applying manifold techniques. The hydrogen storage properties of prepared compound were measured by Sieverts type apparatus. The desorption kinetics were measured by high pressure thermal desorption spectrometer (HP-TDS). More than 5 wt% hydrogen released was obtained by the Mg2FeH6within 5 min, and during rehydrogenation very effective hydrogen absorption rate was observed by the compound.
